Both therapy and life coaching provide meaningful support but serve different purposes.

Therapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing. Therapists are licensed professionals who help people work through issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and other psychological challenges or disorders. In therapy we often explore past experiences and help individuals understand and process how those experiences affect their lives today.

In life coaching we start by exploring the present to gain clarity and from there we move towards the future. Coaching is meant for people who are generally functioning well but feel stuck, are navigating change, or want support creating their next chapter. A coach helps you create awareness, shift perspectives, set meaningful goals, and move forward with intention. With my background in psychology, my approach to life coaching is trauma-informed and based on psychological knowledge of human functioning and development, which can help you identify and work around behavior patterns and emotions that might get in the way of attaining your goals.

Sometimes people work with both a therapist and a coach. Therapy can help process and heal the past, while coaching helps you design and work towards the future.

If you are unsure about the kind of support you need, please book a free discovery call where we can talk about what you’re experiencing and explore whether coaching is the right fit. If your needs fall outside the scope of coaching, I will always encourage you to seek the support that will serve you best.

Coaching isn’t therapy but it can be therapeutic!

Choosing the right life coach is an important step in your personal growth journey. One thing many people don’t realize is that anyone can call themselves a life coach. The coaching profession is not regulated in the same way as some other professions, which means there are no legal requirements to use the title.

For this reason, it is helpful to look at a coach’s training and credentials. Many professional coaches complete formal training through recognized programs such as the International Coaching Federation (ICF) or accredited coach training institutions like Canada Coach Academy. Certification through reputable organizations typically means the coach has completed structured training, adheres to ethical guidelines, and follows established coaching standards.

That said, credentials are only one part of the picture. Coaching is a highly personal process, and the relationship between coach and client plays a key role in the success of the work. Factors such as communication style, energy, approach, areas of expertise, and expectations around accountability all influence whether a coaching partnership will feel supportive and effective.

This is why most coaches offer a discovery call before starting to work together. A discovery call allows you to ask questions, share what you are hoping to achieve, and get a sense of whether the coach’s approach feels like the right fit for you. It also allows the coach to ensure that your needs and expectations align with what they offer.

Finding the right coach is about both professional credibility and personal connection. Taking the time to explore both will help you choose someone who can best support you on your journey.

Confidentiality is a fundamental principle of professional life coaching. In a coaching relationship, clients need to feel safe sharing personal thoughts, challenges, and goals. For that reason, conversations between a coach and client should be treated as private and handled with care and respect.

If you work with a professionally trained or certified coach, confidentiality is typically part of the formal coaching agreement. Coaches who are certified through recognized organizations such as the International Coaching Federation (ICF), are required to follow a clear code of ethics, which includes maintaining strict client confidentiality. This means that anything discussed during coaching sessions will not be shared with others without the client’s explicit written permission.

At the beginning of a coaching relationship, a coach will usually outline these expectations in a written agreement so both coach and client understand how confidentiality is handled.

While confidentiality is a standard in professional coaching, it is always appropriate to ask your coach about their privacy practices and ethical guidelines. Knowing that your conversations are treated with integrity helps create the trust and openness that make coaching effective.

As I am working towards my ICF certification, I pledge to adhere to their code of ethics which you can find here.
